Warehouse Yard Operations Lead
Porter Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment. Based in Atlanta, we’ve scaled over the past decade from a two-person operation in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse to an organization supporting more than 1 million square feet across multiple Georgia facilities. We serve high-expectation customers who rely on precision, transparency, and dependable execution. Our success is built on disciplined processes, a steadfast commitment to safety and quality, and teams who take ownership of delivering results. At Porter, you’ll find a fast-paced, hands-on work environment where teamwork, integrity, consistency, and accountability drive every decision — and where high performers have meaningful opportunities to grow. The Role
We’re looking for an exceptional Yard Operations Lead to manage inbound, outbound, and inventory activities for one of our high-volume outdoor storage accounts. This position is 100% outdoors and ideal for someone with a strong construction, yard, or materials-handling background who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in getting the details right every time. You’ll serve as the onsite operational expert — hands-on with equipment, coordinating yard activity, and acting as the primary representative of Porter’s service and values. What You’ll Do
- Oversee all inbound and outbound shipments for a high-volume client
- Perform yard-based loading and unloading of heavy materials using forklifts
- Stage outbound orders with precise attention to lengths, cuts, bundle types, and customer-specific requirements
- Conduct daily yard walks to ensure materials are organized, safely stored, and correctly labeled
- Maintain a clean, safe, and productive outdoor work environment
- Serve as the day-to-day operational point of contact for your assigned customer
- Build cleint rust through reliability, accuracy, and consistent execution
- Partner with Porter’s warehouse teams, office staff, and transportation partners to maintain seamless operations
- Provide real-time updates and ensure accurate documentation across internal systems
- 3+ years in a construction site, materials yard, outdoor warehouse, or foreman-style position
- Strong background handling large, heavy, or specialty materials (lumber, decking, steel, roofing, etc.)
- Forklift certification — sit-down required; stand-up preferred
- Prior leadership or lead-level responsibility in a hands-on environment
- Extremely organized with strong attention to detail — able to prevent mistakes before they happen
- Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
- Clear communicator who can work directly with drivers, vendors, and internal teams
- Hands-on leader who brings ownership, initiative, and accountability to the work
- Ability to multitask, stay level-headed under pressure, and manage changing demands
